Even as a British ex-pat, I still find Charles' accent, intonation and speech cadence entirely riveting and fully representative of advanced education, vast knowledge and experience, and disciplined commitment to gemology and teaching. It automatically made me sit up straight and pull my ears back into alignment with my shoulders. 👏👏👏

Charles is mad cool. He does a really good job playing off the new hostess. I love his sharp outfits.

There you are guys! I started to despair for a while. I just love your content and this episode is so helpful. Thank you for sharing guys!

Thank you for the informative video on how to use the gem tools. All I have is a loupe. I didn’t know that even with a loupe, I can discover more information other than just inclusions. I enjoyed this video.

More Charles! He's an awesome teacher! Great video!

Fab video. I love to learn how to use the tools and approach narrowing down what a gemstone is. Very educational! ❤

Yes please! More vids like this.

You two make a great team. G'day from Oz ;)

It’s very easy to understand. Thank you guys for this wonderful video.

Wonderful video! This is inspiring me to get out my tools and learn to use them. This makes it seem approachable.

Great demonstrations, more videos going through the ID process like this would be awesome. Maybe including a stereomicroscope with a darkfield condenser to show off inusions!

Your videos are so incredibly helpful ❤🕊

Very well explained, thank you!

Awesome video, guys. Excellent demonstration of these tools.

Absolutely loved this video. Learned so much.

Thanks for this video!!!

this whole video is so fascinating

This was really cool and interesting!

Great video! ❤

My absolute favorite channel! Can you please do a video on zeolites? There's so many types!!!

Honestly, I would like to have a large faceted piece of that selenium glass, and I know that the point of the video was to show how the devices work, but I would have liked them to show how to recognize gems that did not have such marked optical properties, let's say a faceted quartz. aquamarine, very clear minerals with almost zero inclusions and zero optical properties but well in the end I really liked it

Great information, thanks guys. 2x👍

I would like to see a video about how microscopes are used in gem identification and cutting.

Great video!!

First

1:29 Saying a green gem can't be a sapphire is not correct. I have a box of very green montana sapphires. I suppose the "only blue" is sapphire, argument can be used. As "only red" is a ruby. Being they're all Corundum,,, what should we call a pink, yellow, green or purple? If we want to sell them, (our goal afterall) what sounds better? Pink Corundum? Or pink Sapphire? Too many terms in my opinion, are confusing. For instance,, the words mineral "Growth" and mineral "Formation", are many times used interchangeably. But in my mind, are vastly different. I can "Grow" a flower in a pot. But i must "Form" the pot. Do Diamonds,, "Grow",,, 300 miles below the earths surface. Or were they "Formed"? (like a giant redwood being smashed to the size of a 1ct Diamond) I've yet to get this answered. I love watching,❤, too much. It keeps me from my faceting machine.🫤 💎

Great video!
